If your patent is for a process and not an actual physical invention, I wouldn't even put it down. There's a lot of anti-patent bias these days and you may unwittingly give a negative impression to someone who has one of these biases.

I assume the patent was for a useful product. Why not talk about the product you made, how you discovered it, who uses it, and the future of it. It be a cool talking point, at the very least. Just don't talk about the patent unless you plan to redo the submission.

If it has been rejected why do you want to mention that you applied for a patent? Maybe you can mention your invention, depending on what it is (e.g. Hobbies: Invetor: I invented this invisible ink that never becomes visible!), but if this was just an idea without any direct application and without a patent,I don't think it is worth mentioning it in the resume.

Is it OK to mention about a patent application in resume which is either under process or has been rejected?
No, I'm afraid not. Your resume should only contain actual accomplishments and "failing" at something isn't much of an achievement. Of course it's not quite as black and white: a startup you ran for 2 years that ultimately folded is an accomplishment, but it's a matter of scale and importance here. If you you did have a successful patent, for most profiles that should only be a minor point on your resume, grouped under a Miscellaneous, Awards or Research section. Massively important or lucrative patents are again an exception but those are typically created with significant effort that would be part of your work history instead.
An application that's in process is functionally the same as one that failed, since you don't know the outcome. If you were absolutely, 100% sure that it would go through (and that it had value on your resume) then you could add it with an "expected" tag, similar to how you list a future graduation date.
The only exception to this is if you're applying for a job where submitting patents is a factor or the experience you got in preparing your application is directly related to the job. In that case you'd list something like "familiar with patent application process" in a skills section.
If you're talking about listing it as a bullet point in your work history because this was one of the things you did for your job, then I'd still caution against it for all the reasons mentioned so far. I wouldn't list it unless it's truly useful for a particular job opening or if you've submitted multiple applications.
